California Standards MG2.1 Use formulas routinely for finding the perimeter and area of basic two-dimensional figures and the surface area and volume of basic three-dimensional figures, including rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, squares, triangles, circles, prisms, and cylinders. Also covered: MG2.2, MG2.4, and MG3.2

Perimeter is the distance around a polygon Perimeter is the distance around a polygon. To find the perimeter of any polygon, you add the lengths of all its sides. Since opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length, you can find a formula for the perimeter of a parallelogram. P = w + l + w + l = w + w + l + l = 2w + 2l w l
Additional Example 1: Finding the Perimeter of Parallelograms A. Find the perimeter of the figure. 5 14 P = 2w + 2l Perimeter of a parallelogram. = 2(5) + 2(14) Substitute 5 for w and 14 for l. = 10 + 28 = 38 units
Additional Example 1: Finding the Perimeter of Parallelograms B. Find the perimeter of the figure. 20 16 P = 2w + 2l Perimeter of a parallelogram. = 2(16) + 2(20) Substitute 16 for w and 20 for l. = 32 + 40 = 72 units

The area of a plane figure is the number of unit squares needed to cover the figure. The base of a parallelogram is the length of one side. The height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side. Height Side Base
While perimeter is expressed in linear units, such as inches (in While perimeter is expressed in linear units, such as inches (in.) or meters (m), area is expressed in square units, such as square feet (ft2). You can cut a parallelogram and shift the cut piece to form a rectangle whose base and height are the same as those of the original parallelogram. The same number of unit squares are needed to cover the two figures. So a parallelogram and a rectangle that have the same base and height have the same area.
Since the base and height of a rectangle are the same as its length and width, the formula for the area of a rectangle can also be written as A = lw. Helpful Hint
Additional Example 2: Using a Graph to Find Area Graph and find the area of the figure with the given vertices. A. (–1, –2), (2, –2), (2, 3), (–1, 3) Area of a rectangle. A = bh Substitute 3 for b and 5 for h. A = 3 • 5 A = 15 units2
The height of a parallelogram is not the length of its slanted side The height of a parallelogram is not the length of its slanted side. The height of a figure is always perpendicular to the base. Caution!

A composite figure is made up of basic geometric shapes such as rectangles, triangles, trapezoids, and circles. To find the area of a composite figure, find the areas of the geometric shapes and then add the areas.
